Mark Payne, music director of Victoria Playhouse Petrolia, and friends who regularly perform with him, are coming to the stage of St. Andrew’s United Church as part of the Performing Arts at St. Andrew’s 2024-2025 series of concerts.

Payne and company will perform on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Church officials said the performance will “captivate the audience with an evening of inspirational music including favourites such as ‘You Raise Me Up,’ ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’, ‘Ain’t No Mountain’ and ‘Don’t Stop Believing.’”

Payne is a multi-faceted pianist, singer and conductor from London, Ont. Joining him that evening will be Brian Barber, Michael Vanhevel, Alex Baerg, Callandra Dendias, Erik Larson, Jesse Grandmont and Dan Baerg, all of whom are talented musicians.

Local residents will remember their performances in various shows at Victoria Playhouse.

Payne adapts music from different genres for all the productions there. He also has presented many freelance performances as an entertainer.

As a conductor, repetiteur and chorus master, he serves as the pianist/music director for the Anglican Church of the Ascension and is co-conductor for the Amabile Primus Men’s Choir in London.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets ($30) can be obtained from St. Andrew’s church office or online at www.standrewschatham.org/tickets.

All proceeds go to support the music program at St. Andrew’s.
